Summary

Do you find yourself constantly staying busy and have a hard time relaxing? In this episode we dive into the idea of busyness being reflective of high-level anxiety and a potential response to previous traumas in our lives.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to enlightened empaths, your community for the spiritually awakened
0:05.6	Empaths, where we discuss, explore and connect with fellow Empaths,
0:12.0	healers, intuitive, and seekers.
0:16.0	Hello Empaths, we hope you're having a wonderful start to your week. We're going to slip into your Monday morning with some talk about anxiety. How's that for a happy Monday, Denise?
0:30.0	We're off and running, yes.
0:34.0	A bunch of stuff comes up on my news feeds from time to time.
0:38.0	And I was reading all these articles about high functioning anxiety and how busyness is kind of a trauma response and it just made me think I wonder if a lot of people are dealing with this this undercurrent of anxiety right now and they're not even aware of it because they're covering it up with,
